Let me preface the following by saying that I just recently saw the new direction of the game, and unlike some I am not angry, just disappointed to see the change and the way it was carried out, though I do understand where
Enyo Eerie is coming from. This whole comment is not me heckling the creator (nor is it wholly accepting of the changes), I'm just trying to express my thoughts in a hopefully constructive way... Sorry I'm late to the party, and I'm even more sorry for the length of this all.
Anyways,
Enyo Eerie, there were a few things in your explanation post that bothered me. First up is:
Again, this was not at all me trying to shit on you
Enyo Eerie, it was just me expressing my thoughts and providing (hopefully) constructive criticism, including pointing out certain points of logic you had that I did not agree with. I was able to put in so much thought and time writing this because I genuinely enjoyed the the game and story as it was before, and I would've loved to see it be fully realized (maybe with a bit less death & sadness though) because of its excellent balance of intensity and lightheartedness. As much as I do not see myself enjoying the new direction things are going, I will still try to give it a fair chance for now. Anyways, I hope you got something out of all my rambling, if not, that's fine too, and regardless good luck with the rest of the project.

(also sorry if a lot or all of this has been addressed/discussed previously, I feel like I did a good job of skimming through everything to make sure I was adding to the discussion or saying things in my own unique way, but it's possible I might have missed some things...)
